Not being thinly disguised marketing and adhering to the Show HN guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html) helps immensely.
This is great insight, thank you. I have recently learnt that being shadow banned doesn't help either, so not sure if you'll see this comment. Either way, great work.
Yeah, we can see this comment. What for you got shadowbanned? (Or maybe it’s a bad idea to ask, and your reply will get shadowbanned)
I think I was posting an open source project of mine too many times (2-3 times different posts on about the same project but different angles) pointing to the same domain. Maybe the consensus is that it is utter garbage, who knows hahah.
Wasn't trying to spam, figured that if there was no interest it'd sink without a trace. Which it did of course as nobody saw it. I was generally just trying to get a temperature check on whether it was a good idea or not. I understand, I mean, HN's house HN's rules - genuinely don't want to turn this into a debate about moderation!

- Niche technical topics have the highest viral rates (Rust, Postgress, Lua, etc) - Open source tools are the top performing category with 13.9% viral rate - "I built" outperforms "We built" - Sunday noon UTC has the highest chances to hit the front page - Titles with a parenthetical work much better that those without.
